5 of the most talented young players in the Championship

#1 Aleksandar Mitrovic

The goalscoring machine Newcastle needs to have on to: Aleksandar Mitrovic

Behind all the problems and the bruises, Aleksandar Mitrovic is an incredible young talent who could make it most big teams should he stay on his current path. The Serbian international is a big target in the box, fast on the break and smart with his passes.

Combine all those qualities with a cool and composed head and you will essentially describe a host of top class performers in world football. Newcastle had the chance to offload him in the summer owing to his liabilities but are glad they didn’t give how vital he’s been for them in their chase for promotion.

Mitrovic has scored six goals and has three assists in all competitions. It’s often what he does best in the box that goes unnoticed – making space, making passes and opening up defences. He’s currently valued at €10 million and could go for easily three times the value should clubs come in for him in the summer.
